Intermediate Accounting Summary NotesFormula
Assets (cash/bank/inventory/trade rec./PPE) = Liability (loan/overdraft/trade pay./accruals) + Equity
Profit = Income – Expenditure
Income = Sales Revenue + Other Income
Expenditure = Cost of Sales + Other Expenses
Cost of Sales = Opening Inventories + Purchases – Closing Inventories

= (cost – residual value) / useful economic life d = depreciation rate
n = # accounting periods
• Reducing balance method: (constant % change)
R = residual value
